Exotic-Erotics Murray Life-Cast Dildo – Sex Toy Review

Okay, so I know I’ve been telling anyone who will listen that I really, really want a puppy. But I’m not sure this is really what I had in mind. I wanted something cute and fluffy that I could pet and play fetch with, and instead I got…well, a penis. A life-cast replica of a real live doggy. A doggy named Murray.

Just what is life-cast you ask? Well, in Exotic-Erotics own words:

“Lifecast toys are created from casts of living animals (and humans!). The casting process takes approximately five minutes, and the animals are always happy to help! No animals are harmed in any way, physically or otherwise. Lifecast toys are just like the real thing, down to the slightest wrinkle and bump. Toys only mother nature could sculpt!”

Meaning, my new friend Murray here is a replica of a real, living breathing doggy and his well-hung manhood (doghood?).

Let me be real here for a moment, at first I was totally creeped out by the idea of a life-cast dog dildo, I mean… what if this toy totally turns me on? Does that mean dogs turn me on? Is there something wrong with me? Am I a pervert? But, after wrestling with my moral dilemma, I decided, a toy is a toy and took the plunge… and I’m glad I did, what a fun toy… if a bit weird!

Murray is the life-cast of an Australian Shepherd. So, if you are looking for a realistic dildo for puppy play or just to try out something unique and totally outside the realm of your average dildo, this is it. Murray is not the biggest toy I’ve played with, but with a 2.60 inch knot, it has some respectable girth to it. Offered up by Exotic Erotics as a “smart choice for beginners” Murray has an insertable length of 8 inches with a shaft that measure in about about 4 and a half inches around.

All of Exotic-Erotic toys are customizable, which is a pretty amazing option for a sex toy. You can make a toy that really suits you. When customizing my Murray, I requested “medium firmness,” which was the recommended option, I figured the manufacturers know best and I would trust their judgement. The toy arrived much softer then I was anticipating, which was a bit of a disappointment to me at first, I don’t usually like a whole lot of give to my toys, and even at medium firmness, there is quite a lot of bend to Murray. I also think that this slightly softer toy means you lose out a little bit on texture – and I LOVE a textured toy. Murray has his fair share of bumps and ridges, but nothing that could really be felt once inserted. I would love it if this toy had a little more oomph to it in the texture department – but, this is a life-cast toy, so there may not have been much texture to begin with. That said, for your average/beginner dildo user, I would probably recommend sticking with the medium or even soft firmness for this particular toy, you do end up needing a little bit of the squishy give if you want to insert the whole knot inside (and trust me, you will want to insert that knot inside!). Now, since I have the vagina of a sex toy testing champion, and in the interest of science, I think I would like to try this toy in its hard firmness and see what happens.

Another customizable option I chose was to have a suction cup, because everything is better with a suction cup…well, maybe not everything, but they are handy on a dildo! The suction cup provided a bit of frustration for me, I had a hard time getting any real stick with it. It would grip, but only weakly. It took a lot of messing with and some trial and error with surface types and moistness. For the life of me, I couldn’t get it to stick to our grainy wood coffee table, which meant I couldn’t ride Murray for Stunt Cock’s entertainment, bummer. One surface it does stick to surprisingly well is foreheads. So if your ultimate plan is to stick it to your face and call yourself a Dickacorn… it will work exceptionally well for that. If you are having as much trouble with your suction cup as I would, one tip I can offer is to make sure that you are getting all of the air out from between the toy and the surface that you are trying to attach it to. Grab the toy by the shaft directly above the suction cup and press down firmly until all of the air is expelled (you may hear a farting noise, which means you are doing it right! … This is one of the only times farting is desirable). Once you are able to remove all the excess air your toy should be stuck quite firmly and will take a lot of force to dislodge it.

If the suction cup farting technique isn’t working for you, all is not lost. An alternative way to get a good seal is to flex the base of the toy towards the shaft, inverting the suction cup as much as possible. Then place the toy on your desired surface while keeping the base inverted. When you let go, it will return to it’s original position and should stick to the surface (though you may still have to give it a firm push to expel a little bit of air, but it shouldn’t require too much force). If neither of these methods work, well… I don’t know, you are on your own.

Also, the color was completely customizable as well. I about had a seizure trying to decide on a color for my Murray, not only do they have a sizable list of colors to choose from, I was also told if I had a color sample to send them they would try to match it as best they could. What! You can not give me that many choices, I will never get anything done! In the end, I choose a nice bubble-gum pink color, because why the hell not. Although in hindsight, I do kind of regret not getting a little more crazy with it, oh well, next time!

The shipping was surprisingly quick, especially for a custom toy. It took just a little over a week from order to arrival! Murray arrived in discrete packaging, just a plain brown box, no obvious markings. So if your package should fall into the wrong hands or be seen by the wrong eyes, no worries, there is nothing on this box that screams “I HAVE A DOG DILDO INSIDE!!!” Another cool thing about the packaging was the free drawstring bag that the toy arrived in. I’m a sucker for toy storage. It instantly makes any toy feel more luxury when it comes with its own storage.

Exotic-Erotic uses platinum-cure silicon for their toys, which is awesome, it means all of their toys are body safe and will not leech any nasty chemicals into your sensitive vaginal or rectal areas. The only downside to the silicone material is that if you accidentally drop your new toy on your kitchen floor while you are admiring it, you will suddenly realize just how filthy your floor is and you fall into a shame spiral as you come to grips with how terrible at housework you really are. Seriously, the toy collected so much weird muck, I was kind of squicked out and quickly swept the floor in order to convince myself I did not live like a troll under a bridge (I’m really more of a hermit hobbit than a troll). But, a quick rinse of the toy and it was as good as new.

Being made of silicone you are going to want to use a good water-based lube with this toy. Silicone lube has the potential to damage your silicone toy, which I have sadly experienced first hand, so take my word for it.

Murray and I had two playdates together. The first was with the help of my boyfriend and the second was a solo run. Murray really made for a fun couples toy. It easily led into fun fantasy roleplaying, so even if puppy play isn’t your niche to begin with, it does become a fun little bedroom game. Really spice up your Murray time by adding a collar and a leash! Woof!

My Stunt Cock’s wild thrusting with this toy did become uncomfortable after awhile because of the little knobby bit at the tip. I ended up feeling a little bruised afterwards where that bit kept bumping against me over and over and over. So take it easy, especially if you start to feel it poking you.

As a solo toy, I ended up using it much less as a thrusting toy and instead used it more as a clenching toy. Once I popped that knot in, I didn’t want to let it go. The feeling of fullness it provided was pretty stellar. So with the knot snugly in place, I grabbed one of my favorite vibrating bullets and went to town. Orgasming around that wide knot is an experience in itself, there is something wonderful about feeling totally filled up and having an orgasm ripple around it.

Over all, this toy was fun. It was fun to hold, fun to feel, fun to wave around, and most importantly, fun to use. At first, I thought having a life-cast dog dildo would just be a novelty toy to use once for shits and giggles and then pack it away at the bottom of my sex toy box, but the quality of this toy really shines, its interesting, it feels good, and the size is just about right, making it a toy worth incorporating into regular masturbation play. So, in the end, if you are looking to try out something unique, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Exotic-Erotic’s Murray Life-Cast Dildo!
